The Prince and the Pauper

~Chapter Three~

Moving

Prince Riku sighed as he looked around his room. All of these presents, all of these flowers, all of this crap. Everything was just a grim reminder of his arranged marriage, one he didn't want. 'Dad, why aren't you here? You would know how to cheer me up…'

"You're Highness?" a knock interrupted his thoughts. "It's me, sir Roxas."

Prince Riku sighed with a little bit of relief, he hated being in his room but there was nowhere else to go. He headed toward the door and tried to avoid all of the gifts that was seriously piling up too much in his room. Prince Riku carefully tried to make his way to the door, "Give me a moment!" he called. He stepped forward and felt something fall on his head. At first he didn't know what it was, he reached down to pick up his golden crown to find another object hitting him from above.

"You're Highness?"

"One moment!" he called again and once again an object hit him. At that moment Prince Riku realized what was going on. He rose slowly with his crown in hand. He swallowed and before he could completely stand up the mountain of presents caved in on him and buried him alive. Prince Riku let out a yell and Roxas instantly tried to enter the room but the presents had barricaded the door. Roxas tried to pushed the doors open; he slammed his shoulder into the door several times before the door finally opened. He screamed out for the prince to answer.

"Riku! Riku!" Roxas called out repeatedly. Roxas didn't get an answer, all he saw was Riku's hand reaching out through the thousands of presents. Roxas rushed over to the hand and helped him out of the presents. "Are you okay?" he said pulling out the prince.

Gasping for air, "NO!" he yelled, "I'm not okay! These stupid presents! This stupid marriage! I hate it!" he picked up a present and threw it across the room. After throwing it he buried his face I his hands and groaned.

Roxas, knowing his friend, remained silent. He rubbed his back and sighed. He gazed at the presents that filled the room. It seemed that there was no area that wasn't filled with gifts or some thing that was related to the wedding. "I think you need to get away."

"Huh, to where? The wedding is in less than two weeks, there's no vacation spot I can go to and be back before the wedding," Prince Riku groaned, he collected himself and stood. He hid his eyes behind his silver bang and tossed his crown away, "I hate this."

Roxas sighed, and went over the presents to retrieve the crown, "Riku, you really need to get away, how about I take you out to the town for a while?"

"What?" he looked over his shoulder in disbelief.

Roxas held the crown for a moment then tossed it over his shoulder, "For today you're just Riku, and I'm taking you to the city."

"You can do that?"

"With Namine's help, yeah," he nodded, "So are you in?" Roxas said.

Riku glanced at his well armed friend, his dark blue eyes spoke "C'mon you know you want to" and his smile said "you need to smile too."

Riku thought it over, he gazed at the polished marble floor, at least what he could see, and realized that he had rarely left the floors of this castle. He had never seen the outside of the castle. He had spent most of his time in the castle or in the stable.

Riku looked at Roxas and shrugged, "Fine… I'll go but I don't think I'll like it."

Roxas rolled his eyes with a grin, "You'll like it," he walked toward the door and pushed some presents out of the way, "I'll have Namine send for you when the coast is clear, okay?"

"Yeah," Prince Riku sighed. Looking at his room he frowned, "Hey, Roxas, send some people up here to move my room to a different one, I can't sleep in this room with all this crap here."

Roxas gave Prince Riku a nod, "Yes, Your Highness," he said and left the door ajar.

Prince Riku started to head for the door and he kept his eyes behind his bang. Reaching the hall he sucked in some air and leaned on the wall. He waited there as maids and movers came to move his room from one room to another.

"You're Highness, what room shall we move your things to?" an older man came to the prince, bowed and waited for instructions.

"Move it to the room closest to the door to the garden," he answered pointing with his index finger while his arms were still folded.

"We will have your things in that room in less than an hour," he announced, bowed once more and left to Prince Riku's room.

Prince Riku continued to lean where he was. He found himself in deep thought and he had drowned out all the noise that was around him. He kept thinking about being outside. Being free, and being away from the marriage and all this other crap, was all he wanted. He didn't want to get married to some… princess from Radiant Garden; he wanted to marry Namine… the girl of his dreams.

Prince Riku sighed. He opened his eyes and gazed around to find his mother walking down the hall, she had two guards with her. She paused when she saw Riku and frowned. Prince Riku stared back in confusion, 'Why is she looking at me like that?' he wondered. She came closer, walking more proper and still holding a frown. For some reason her heeled footsteps were louder than the sounds coming from his room. He stood from his lean and had his hands fall to his side. "Good afternoon, Mother," he bowed.

She frowned at him once more, "Where's you crown?" she ignored his greeting.

At once Prince Riku's eyes opened wide and he felt the top of his head; he had forgotten he had thrown it after he was hit by the mountain slide of presents. "Oh, yes, about that… I seemed to have lost it in the room, the presents had caved in on me and I lost my crown when I came from under the presents," he explained, lying in some way. He gave his mother a shy grin and hoped she'd understand.

She hummed at the thought and glanced in his room for a moment and sighed, "Don't scare me like that," her face relaxed, "I thought you were dishonoring the royal family and yourself," she said in a slightly sad voice.

Prince Riku swallowed, "No, Mom, never," he shook his head.

"Well, there are a lot of presents, I hope you find your room a bit more comfortable," she nodded and walked towards the second grand stairs. Soon she was gone from his sight and he sighed with a load of relief. He felt bad that he had to lie through his teeth but at the same time he had to. He couldn't tell his mother that for the first time in his life he hated being royal. And he defiantly couldn't tell his mother that he was already in love with someone. He could have Namine banished for that, and he didn't want that. But even if he told her that she would never see him again anyway… once he was married he wouldn't have her as teach any more. He'd have someone from his new wife's kingdom teaching him.

Prince Riku sighed, he didn't want any of what he was given at this point. 'Well, it looks like going out to the town is my best option right now,' he thought. He leaned on the wall again, 'I mind as well do it, I have literally nothing to lose. Besides it might be the only chance I have to admit my feelings for Namine before the wedding.'

Prince Riku gazed at the oil painted ceiling, the ceiling of light blue had him think of her eyes, and her second favorite color. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He remained silent as everything, again, was drowned out.
